Product details

Mouse/Rat Cathepsin B Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free (ab300175) is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify mouse and rat cathepsin B in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.

Patented technology
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:

  • Sandwich ELISA
  • FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
  • Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
  • Bead-based assays
  • AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
  • DELFIA® immunoassays
  • Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
  • Multiplex

Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:

  • Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
  • Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.

We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.

Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.

Please note:

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.

The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.

We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

Supplementary information

Cathepsin B also known as CTSB or cathepsin beta is a lysosomal cysteine protease belonging to the papain family. This enzyme possesses a molecular weight of approximately 25 to 30 kDa. You can find cathepsin B expressed in various tissues with high levels observed in the liver kidney and spleen. It plays a mechanical role in protein degradation within lysosomes operating optimally in acidic environments. The enzyme has active and inactive forms depending on structural modifications and environmental conditions.
Biological function summary

Cathepsin B participates as a proteolytic enzyme involved in protein turnover and processing. It does not function in isolation but often associates with various other proteases forming complexes essential for efficient substrate breakdown. Cathepsin B assists in the activation of other enzymes by cleaving propeptides therefore facilitating the initiation of cascade reactions. This role is critical in maintaining cellular homeostasis and modulating physiological processes including cell migration and immune response modulation.

Pathways

Cathepsin B significantly contributes to the lysosomal protein degradation pathway and the autophagy-lysosome pathway. It interacts with proteins such as B protein which are important for cellular recycling and energy homeostasis. Its activity supports the MHC class II antigen processing pathway playing an essential part in immune system functionality. Cathepsin B also exhibits interactions with Ctsb protein inhibitors which regulate its proteolytic activity within these pathways.

Cathepsin B has strong associations with cancer progression and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Its overexpression and dysregulation are linked to tumor metastasis where it degrades extracellular matrix components promoting invasion. Ctsb protein interactions with corey mazo proteins influence tumor microenvironment and immune evasion. In Alzheimer's disease cathepsin B can influence amyloid beta peptide processing connected to neurodegenerative pathology progression. These roles highlight the potential for cathepsin B as a therapeutic target in addressing these conditions.
